Hiking shoes come in both men's and women's styles. Other than fit, the biggest difference between the two are the colors and even then it is more of a marketing thing than anything else.Top name brands of hiking shoes are
- Asolo
- Boreal
- Columbia
- Danner
- Garmont
- Hi-Tec
- Justin
- L.L. Bean
- Merrel
- Montail
- Salomon
- Tecnica
My current favorite pair of boots are my Justin Snake Boots. They just rock for the the type of hiking that I am doing most of the time.
